Will the EX5000 MFD version 8.2.x display the newer FIS-B weather products such as Center Weather Advisories, Cloud Tops, Graphical Airmets, Icing Forecast, Turbulence and Lightning?

I guess the follow-up's would be:
* Is this planned for a post 8.2.x release? * If so, is there a charge for the new feature set or would it be included as part of the 8.2.x license?

We don't have a solid plan yet for another MFD release, but when that happens I would expect support for the new ADS-B products to be included. We've typically not charged for software updates and I wouldn't expect that to change.

Thanks.
I'm new to the Avidyne world so my apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but I was under the impression that some releases needed to be purchased. I'm currently on 8.1 and will be upgrading to 8.2.x when my local shop installs my Lynx NGT-9000+ later this summer. I was told the EX5000 upgrade would be ~$1K which is supported by this excerpt from an Avidyne Press Release: Is this no longer the case? |

Sorry, you're right about that. I get focused on the IFD line and forget some of the details in the other lines. The short answer is that since we don't have a solid plan yet, it's too early to say what the charge, if any, would be.
*Note that the $999 is MSRP for the software, but there are often additional costs associated with the upgrade. Edited by AviSteve - 04 Nov 2019 at 4:45pm |

Disappointing. We were hoping for a May release. It's not good to have to reset the MFD every 40-50 minutes in flight.
